Well the thing about democracy is it hinges on their being hard working and patriotic citizens, at least 51 percent.

Because once you have more people wanting to vote for free stuff and ridiculous pensions etc, you’re in a lot of trouble.

Are we a democracy?

Can a country be a republic and a democracy?

I don’t know the answer :)

51 years old and I don’t know the answer!

I think it’s at 47% supporting 53% - have a retired friend who’s on SS and every year when SS gives that COLA (he get’s maybe $22) property tax and other taxes take that away, hadn’t had a real increase in years.

If a loss of Rights\property, an explosion of BIG GOVT & a $200T+ bill via ‘unfunded liabilities’ doesn’t tell anyone the answer...
